But I am taking Don's advice on this coming weekend's RIA Online-Only Auction...I bid $50 more than the Luger I looked at in the catalog!

I did win a 1911 clone on GB this week, again going with Don's 'plan'...I bid $84 more and won!!!

I also found out a bug in the GB bid system...The 15 minute rule...If you decide at the last minute [literally] to up your already-winning bid, it kicks the 15 minute extension in...

I did that twice and unwittingly extended the auction a half hour past the posted end time...I gave any wimpy bidders two extra chances to outbid me...

But in the end, I was only bidding against myself...And won...

I hope the RIA auction is as easy...
